Tank Services will be recruiting potential employees during a job fair Friday at The Employment Source offices in New Philadelphia.

The Canton-based company is seeking 50 to 70 employees to work on oil and gas well maintenance in eastern Ohio and Pennsylvania. The company is hiring field painters and industrial blasters at $10 to $15 per hour, and laborers at $10 per hour.

The open recruitment program is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in The Employment Source office in Monroe Centre at 1260 Monroe St. NW, New Philadelphia. Candidates can apply and be interviewed the same day.

Tank Services, at 4936 Southway St. SW, provides atmospheric corrosion prevention services to oil and gas companies drilling in the Utica and Marcellus shale formations. Workers clean and paint storage tanks and pipelines at well sites. The workday is about eight to 12 hours, depending on the season.

The company intends to hire workers quickly to begin orientation and training March 11 at Tank Services in Canton.

Travel is part of the job, with crews leaving Monday and returning to the area Friday or Saturday.

The company provides travel via pooled vehicles, a daily meal per diem and hotel stays for out-of-town jobs in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Virginia.

Employees must have a valid driver’s license and pass a drug test. A CDL license is a plus. Benefits are offered after employees successfully complete a 30-day probationary period.
